Working Mechanism

  • These MCPs are installed in an electrical circuit and wired to the motor.
  • When the motor is started, current flows through the MCP and the motor.
  • These MCPs constantly monitor the current flow and compare it to the trip setting.
  • If the current exceeds the trip setting, these MCPs trip and interrupt the current flow to the motor.
  • These MCPs can be manually reset by pressing the reset button or automatically reset after a predetermined time delay.

Features

  • They feature magnetic trips for quickly detecting and interrupting electrical faults in motor circuits, such as short circuits and overloads.
  • These circuit protectors have NEMA-rated starters for improved safety and offer high-speed blow-open action for enhanced performance.
  • These Eaton MCPs have copper terminals for high electrical conductivity.

Standards and Approvals

  • IEC

Frequently Asked Questions

How to install these circuit protectors?

  • Before mounting the MCP, ensure that it is appropriate for the intended installation by comparing the nameplate data of the MCP with the system requirements. Inspect the MCP for any damages or missing components to ensure its completeness and functionality.
  • To mount the MCP on an individual mounting panel, ensure that the panel has been pre-drilled according to the drilling plan. If the MCP comes with internal accessories pre-installed by the factory, make sure the accessory wiring is accessible after mounting.
  • Position the MCP on the mounting surface and secure it using mounting screws, washers and nuts.
  • Tighten the screws firmly and do not exceed 28 pound-inches of torque.
  • After mounting the MCP, line and load cables and accessory leads should be connected.

What is the interrupt rating of these Eaton GMCP Series MCPs?

35kAIC at 480VAC.

How to clean and maintain these MCPs?

  • Before performing any maintenance or cleaning on the MCP, ensure that power to the circuit is disconnected.
  • Regularly inspect the MCP for any signs of damage, cracks, corrosion or loose connections.
  • Use a dry cloth to wipe the surface of the MCP and remove any dust or debris.
  • If there is a buildup of dust or debris in hard-to-reach areas, use compressed air to blow it out. Be sure to use a low-pressure setting and hold the canister at a safe distance to prevent damage to the MCP.
  • If the MCP has a trip mechanism or handle, lubricate them with a small amount of silicone or lithium-based grease to ensure smooth operation.
  • Test the MCP regularly to ensure it is functioning properly and providing the necessary protection to the motor.
